The New Pornographers – The Laws Have Changed Lyrics 19 years ago
I believe this song is an obscure piece of poetry, referring to the hopelessness of modern politics and why it is becoming more and more a moral issue. The lyrics reflect the absurdity of "rights", as they can be altered at any time. Hence, "crime at the time, but the laws we changed 'em". The world is more and more chaotic.

But the lyrics are also about the stupidity of nationalism are pride in the government. "All hail what will be revealed today." The moral aspects of government have been overtaken by the absurdity of nationalism, this ridiculous regional pride. A catchy song, and with lyrics that make you think. Brilliant work.
